ambitious targets set
meet the more ambitious targets in
the second and third years of the
Accord, and to meet the long-run
supply task identified in the council’s
Auckland Plan of 10,000 dwellings
a year in the first decade, and rising
after that.
New sections, the report says, are
being created at a steady rate, but
will need to increase to support the
number of new dwellings called for in
the Auckland Plan.
The average number of new sections
created over the first four months of
the Accord was the same as for the
12 months before the Accord took
effect, the report says.
Currently there is enough zoned,
water-and-transport-enabled
greenfield land for about 24,900
dwellings, up from 15,000 a year
ago, or about 5.4 years’ worth of
greenfield land supply.
This, the report says, is below
the Auckland Plan target of an
average of seven years’ capacity,
but above its minimum level of five
years’ supply. Market conditions
will determine the speed at which
the capacity is converted into new
residential sections and dwellings.
Activity is increasing within the 22
special housing areas created so
far, the report says. The Housing
Project Office is working on more
than 50 pre-applications for 2223
sites or dwellings. It has approved 13
consents for 120 sites or dwellings
with two more under consideration.
And it is facilitating master-planning
of a further 15 developments.
The report concedes that Auckland’s
median house price has continued to
increase, with an average $573,750
over the last 12 months. But, it says,
the price increase is partly the result
of other factors.
